17 weeks.. I think its a boy !!

26th June 2018
It was supposed to be our 16th week scan... But oh my baby !! You surprise me ..!!
Baby is showing growth of 17 weeks !! Thus shifting our due date to 1st December ! Looks like my baby wants to come to me as early as possible.. and that why its growing so fast !💖

As the scan was happening, i noticed that the doctor moved the machine towards the baby's legs.. and for a fraction of a second i think i saw something between the legs..

To tell you the truth, i got a bit disappointed..😔 Girl has always been my first preference..
Always!!!
I don't mind if i have a boy.. But.. Girls are soo special..

No matter whoever comes, He/She is going to be the love of my life.. I will love my boy just as much i will love my girl..

But yaar.... "Girl ho toh maza aa jaaye!"

14 weeks.... We are in the safe zone !

12th June 2018... Its 14th week scan and we are finally in our second trimester !!! It was time to finally tell the news to our families...

The ultrasound on that day went really well.. I got a chance to see my little munchkin move its legs and dance... Awwww!!! My sweet angel ! 💖He/She looked beautiful...

The growth of the baby seemed perfect.. infact it was again measuring further!! Grow baby grow !

Got to know that the surrogate is craving sweets and is able to feel the baby move.. For a minute i felt a little sad coz i wasn't the one able to feel my baby's movements.. And one day i really wanna experience this feeling.. But thanx to my sweet surrogate, she explained me exactly how she feels.. and moved her fingers against my skin to make me understand the feeling.. I know its not exactly how a baby inside your belly would feel like.. but i had to be happy with what i got !

But..... I sooooo wanna feel my babyyyyyyy !!!!!😭

Dear baby,😘
Mumma had no other option. To keep you safe and bring you into mumma's arms she had to give u away to a surrogate for 9 months.. But trust me my baby.. everyday i wished of carrying you myself.. I really wanted u to grow inside me.. Its just that, I had no other option sweetheart.. I really love you and i want u soo bad.. Thats why i had to choose this path.. Its very difficult for mumma to stay away from you.. But i am doing this only so that we both can be together forever !! I love you so much my angel !!!!! Love you to the moon and back !💕

Anyway, after the ultrasound we had to wait till the evening for every family member to come home so that we can announce the big news...

At the right time i messaged each Jaju family member individually the same image that I sent Rashi di... After a while we told Badepapa and Anoop bhaiya and both of them were super happy.. Then we went upstairs to see everyone's reaction on the message I sent.. But to my surprise.. No one really checked their phones.. :(

So i had to tell them.. Plz check ur phones..📱

As soon as Amit bhaiya, Anubha bhabhi and Bhawna bhabhi saw it.. they were totally surprised.. and super happy ! Maa was confused as to what was happening and meanwhile Manish Bhaiya, Shailesh Bhaiya and Aarti Bhabhi messaged me Congratulations. As soon as i told Maa that we are having a baby she got really excited too and congratulated me and Pratik.. Manish bhaiya came to me and gave me shagun for the good news.. It was a great sight to see everyone happy and support our decision !

The same day I told about the news to Mummy, Papa and My sisters.. All of them were happy and extremely proud of me for taking such a difficult decision.. Papa said, "Beta, I always wanted you to not go through any more pain.. Its good that u took this decision and that too at the right time!"

It was an amazing feeling to finally share the news.. But i had to wait 2 more days for Abhi bhaiya to come to Surat so that i can tell him and bhabhi and mummyji papaji the news too..

15th June, I met Abhi bhaiya and bhabhi for dinner and told them that someone is gonna arrive in December... Both of them were in shock !! hehe.. ! After telling them i called up Mummyji Papaji and told them that they are gonna be Nani-Nana.. They were so so happy and they said the same thing.. that its good that we didn't wait and took the right decision !

Can't explain how satisfying it is to finally give your family the good news they have been waiting for since so long.. I am extremely greatful to my doctor and my surrogate for making our dream come true !

11 weeks or 12 ??

28th May 2018.. This was supposed to be our 11th week 3D ultrasound... But we were so so so surprised...

8a.m. We reached the hospital, as this was the time given to us by the 3D ultrasound technician... This guy, is known to be the most strict around the hospital, so basically, you can't speak when he is doing the scan, keep your foot ware out, no phones allowed and pin drop silence !!

This was the most boring ultrasound experience... we were made to stand far away from the screen so we couldn't see much.. plus we can't ask questions.. !! What the hell !!😡

Anyway.. i saw a huge difference in the growth of my bud.. He/She was supposed to be only 11 weeks, but instead, the measurements showed an amazing growth of 12 weeks !!

I was soooo happy... Not only my baby's growth is normal.. but its measuring a few days furthur !! Wow!!😍

The 3D ultrasound didn't went well and we couldn't see the baby properly.. But later the doctor assured that everything seems perfect !! Later, doctor took some blood from the surrogate for regular testing and even those reports were normal !!

On this day i also got to know that the surrogate is craving for maggi.. !! I jumped with joy.. And told Pratik about it.. and he said.."Mera baby hai.. Ofcouse maggi ki craving hogi.." And i was like, "Mera bhi baby hai !!"

After seeing everything going so well, It was time to announce the good news to Rashi.. I messaged her with this image..

She called me up as soon as she saw the message... On the phone call, Rashi was like.. " Bhabhiiiiiiiiii.. wowwwww I am gonna be a bua.. Yayyy !!!!" I was so happy to hear her excitement on the phone.. And then she said.. "I am gonna start shopping for my nephew/niece soon !! 

Hehe !!

Just 2 more weeks to go.. And soon we will announce to the family.. Can't wait to see their reactions.. 2 more weeks !!!!!!😁

9 weeks... My baby is a dancer!!!

14th May 2018..

After an amazing trip to Turkey.. It was time for the most exciting ultrasound.. The 9th week ultrasound !!!!!! The week when babies start their very first movements... !! We were so excited ! During the entire trip of Turkey, i used to count days and think everyday about how long my baby must have grown till now... I remember telling Pratik on week 8... "Today our baby is so tiny that it can fit easily inside our palm.."

Thanx to the trip.. we didn't realize how fast the days went by and the day of the ultrasound came...

This time Pratik made sure that he was inside with me.. As this week was also very crucial for us.. We had never been this far and had no idea how 9th week ultrasound looks like..

And what a delight it was....

We saw our baby dancing... 💃💃Moving its tiny hands and legs... Ohh my angel baby... I couldn't control myself and didn't even realize when tears came out.. My doctor said, "Everything looks great.. so why are you crying..?" And i couldn't say a word.. I was crying with joy.. Pure joy of seeing my love move for the first time.. My tiny happy dancer... muaaahhhh

I just fell in love !!!💗 And got more happy when i heard that amazing heart beat again.. but now at 185bpm.. !! Woaahhh.. !!

This was the best ultrasound ever !!

Ohh my little dancer baby... Can't wait to dance with you !

7 weeks.. The first glimpse of our baby !!

28th April, 2018... Time for the second scan.. and the most crucial scan.. I was a bit nervous as this was the week when things used to go wrong for me.. But as i said.. I was cautiously optimistic..

10a.m.. We reached the hospital.. met the surrogate.. and were patiently waiting for our turn..
The doctor called us in.. And only i was inside the ultrasound room.. don't know why Pratik didnt enter..

Fingers crossed.. Deep breath taken..

The doctor showed me the ultrasound screen... And this is what i saw..

My blueberry sized angel.. showing its first proper presence on the ultrasound !! As soon as i heard its beautiful beating heart at 146bpm... i got really excited.. !!! Yes.. we made it... We made it to healthy 7 weeks !!!😀

Me n Pratik both jumped with joy when doctor said everything looks fantastic !!  The doctor was really surprised to see us so excited and she said.. "but all this is normal".. And we said.. "We have not seen normal in years !!"

We were really happy.. But the struggle was not over yet... Still cautiously optimistic, we are waiting for the first trimester to get over !!

5 weeks.. The first ultrasound !!

On 17th of April 2018, doctor did the first ultrasound.. I wasn't in surat that time but Pratik reached to the hospital literally running as he had just reached surat from a trip to saputara..

I just remember, i was sitting at home and i got a whatsapp message from pratik with a photo of the ultrasound with a message below saying, "Single Hai".. I got super excited and downloaded the photo and saw the beautiful sac with a yoke sac.. Exactly what the first ultrasound should look like..

It was the start of a new journey.. a beginning of a new life.. our beautiful baby !!💘
I was happy that it was a single baby, but twins would have been fun.. or may be not so fun..
But anyway, single is much better.. Single pregnancy is usually very healthy than twins.. And at the end we want a happy healthy n beautiful baby !

So, i was happy and excited and cautiously optimistic.. But couldn't wait to see the next ultrasound.. which was after 15 days !!!!
